'Cosa voglio di più' is Silvio Soldini's ('Bread & Tulips') second film about love in the time of financial crisis, following 'Days and Clouds'.
Anna (prominent thespian Alba Rohrwacher, 'I Am Love') is a woman in her early thirties who works as an accountant at a large insurance firm. She lives with her long-time boyfriend Alessio (Giuseppe Battiston), a nice guy who thinks they should settle down and have a child. The 'married with family' Domenico (Pierfrancesco Favino) works for a catering company and has trouble making ends meet. Coincidence brings Anna and Domenico together and they quickly fall into a heated affair, based on passionate motel rendezvous, cell phone arguments, and endless lies. Anna's increasingly distant behavior goes unnoticed by Alessio, but Domenico's wife becomes steadily more suspicious of her husband. As the two lovers begin to fall deeper under the spell of passion, they are faced with a life-changing choice.
Alba Rohrwacher, who also stars in 'The Man Who Will Come', delivers a beautifully nuanced performance in this film that screened in the Berlinale Special section at the 2010 Berlin Film Festival.
"A gripping portrayal of an illicit liaison. Memorable viewing that perfectly catches the intersections between love and fear. 5 stars". SBS Film
